.SH DESCRIPTION
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
.P
The
\fIfwprintf\fR()
function shall place output on the named output
.IR stream .
The
\fIwprintf\fR()
function shall place output on the standard output stream
.IR stdout .
The
\fIswprintf\fR()
function shall place output followed by the null wide character in
consecutive wide characters starting at *\fIws\fP; no more than
.IR n
wide characters shall be written, including a terminating null wide
character, which is always added (unless
.IR n
is zero).
.P
Each of these functions shall convert, format, and print its arguments
under control of the
.IR format
wide-character string. The
.IR format
is composed of zero or more directives:
.IR "ordinary wide-characters" ,
which are simply copied to the output stream, and
.IR "conversion specifications" ,
each of which results in the fetching of zero or more arguments. The
results are undefined if there are insufficient arguments for the
.IR format .
If the
.IR format
is exhausted while arguments remain, the excess arguments are evaluated
but are otherwise ignored.
.P
Conversions can be applied to the
.IR n th
argument after the
.IR format
in the argument list, rather than to the next unused argument. In this
case, the conversion specifier wide character
.BR %
(see below) is replaced by the
sequence
.BR \(dq%n$\(dq ,
where
.IR n
is a decimal integer in the range [1,{NL_ARGMAX}],
giving the position of the argument in the argument list. This feature
provides for the definition of
.IR format
wide-character strings that select arguments in an order appropriate to
specific languages (see the EXAMPLES section).
.P
The
.IR format
can contain either numbered argument specifications (that is,
\fR"%\fIn\fR$"\fR and \fR"*\fIm\fR$"\fR), or unnumbered argument
conversion specifications (that is,
.BR %
and
.BR * ),
but not both. The only exception to this is that
.BR %%
can be mixed with the \fR"%\fIn\fR$"\fR form. The results of mixing
numbered and unnumbered argument specifications in a
.IR format
wide-character string are undefined. When numbered argument
specifications are used, specifying the
.IR N th
argument requires that all the leading arguments, from the first to the
(\fIN\fP\-1)th, are specified in the
.IR format
wide-character string.
.P
In
.IR format
wide-character strings containing the \fR"%\fIn\fR$"\fR form of
conversion specification, numbered arguments in the argument list can
be referenced from the
.IR format
wide-character string as many times as required.
.P
In
.IR format
wide-character strings containing the
.BR %
form of conversion specification, each argument in the argument list
shall be used exactly once. It is unspecified whether an encoding
error occurs if the format string contains
.BR wchar_t
values that do not correspond to members of the character
set of the current locale and the specified semantics do not
require that value to be processed by
\fIwcrtomb\fR().
.P
All forms of the
\fIfwprintf\fR()
function allow for the insertion of a locale-dependent radix
character in the output string, output as a wide-character value. The
radix character is defined in the current locale (category
.IR LC_NUMERIC ).
In the POSIX locale, or in a locale where the radix character is not
defined, the radix character shall default to a
<period>
(\c
.BR '.' ).
.br
.P
Each conversion specification is introduced by the
.BR '%' 
wide character
or by the wide-character sequence \fR"%\fIn\fR$"\fR,
after which the following appear in sequence:
.IP " *" 4
Zero or more
.IR flags
(in any order), which modify the meaning of the conversion
specification.
.IP " *" 4
An optional minimum
.IR "field width" .
If the converted value has fewer wide characters than the field width,
it shall be padded with
<space>
characters by default on the left; it shall be padded on the right,
if the left-adjustment flag (\c
.BR '\-' ),
described below, is given to the field width. The field width takes the
form of an
<asterisk>
(\c
.BR '*' ),
described below, or a decimal integer.
.IP " *" 4
An optional
.IR precision
that gives the minimum number of digits to appear for the
.BR d ,
.BR i ,
.BR o ,
.BR u ,
.BR x ,
and
.BR X
conversion specifiers; the number of digits to appear after the radix
character for the
.BR a ,
.BR A ,
.BR e ,
.BR E ,
.BR f ,
and
.BR F
conversion specifiers; the maximum number of significant digits for the
.BR g
and
.BR G
conversion specifiers; or the maximum number of wide characters to be
printed from a string in the
.BR s
conversion specifiers. The precision takes the form of a
<period>
(\c
.BR '.' )
followed either by an
<asterisk>
(\c
.BR '*' ),
described below, or an optional decimal digit string, where a null
digit string is treated as 0. If a precision appears with any other
conversion wide character, the behavior is undefined.
.IP " *" 4
An optional length modifier that specifies the size of the argument.
.IP " *" 4
A
.IR "conversion specifier"
wide character that indicates the type of conversion to be applied.
.P
A field width, or precision, or both, may be indicated by an
<asterisk>
(\c
.BR '*' ).
In this case an argument of type
.BR int
supplies the field width or precision. Applications shall ensure that
arguments specifying field width, or precision, or both appear in that
order before the argument, if any, to be converted. A negative field
width is taken as a
.BR '\-' 
flag followed by a positive field width. A negative precision is taken
as if the precision were omitted.
In
.IR format
wide-character strings containing the \fR"%\fIn\fR$"\fR form
of a conversion specification, a field width or precision may be
indicated by the sequence \fR"*\fIm\fR$"\fR, where
.IR m
is a decimal integer in the range [1,{NL_ARGMAX}] giving the position
in the argument list (after the
.IR format
argument) of an integer argument containing the field width or
precision, for example:
.sp
.RS 4
.nf

wprintf(L"%1$d:%2$.*3$d:%4$.*3$d\en", hour, min, precision, sec); \*?

The flag wide characters and their meanings are:
.IP "\fR\(aq\fR" 8
(The
<apostrophe>.)
The integer portion of the result of a decimal conversion (\c
.BR %i ,
.BR %d ,
.BR %u ,
.BR %f ,
.BR %F ,
.BR %g ,
or
.BR %G )
shall be formatted with thousands' grouping wide characters. For other
conversions, the behavior is undefined. The numeric grouping wide
character is used.
.IP "\fR\-\fR" 8
The result of the conversion shall be left-justified within the field.
The conversion shall be right-justified if this flag is not specified.
.IP "\fR+\fR" 8
The result of a signed conversion shall always begin with a sign (\c
.BR '+' 
or
.BR '\-' ).
The conversion shall begin with a sign only when a negative value is
converted if this flag is not specified.
.IP <space> 8
If the first wide character of a signed conversion is not a sign, or if
a signed conversion results in no wide characters, a
<space>
shall be prefixed to the result. This means that if the
<space>
and
.BR '+' 
flags both appear, the
<space>
flag shall be ignored.
.IP "\fR#\fR" 8
Specifies that the value is to be converted to an alternative form.
For
.BR o
conversion, it shall increase the precision, if and only if necessary,
to force the first digit of the result to be zero (if the value
and precision are both 0, a single 0 is printed). For
.BR x
or
.BR X
conversion specifiers, a non-zero result shall have 0x (or 0X) prefixed
to it. For
.BR a ,
.BR A ,
.BR e ,
.BR E ,
.BR f ,
.BR F ,
.BR g ,
and
.BR G
conversion specifiers, the result shall always contain a radix
character, even if no digits follow it. Without this flag, a radix
character appears in the result of these conversions only if a digit
follows it. For
.BR g
and
.BR G
conversion specifiers, trailing zeros shall
.IR not
be removed from the result as they normally are. For other conversion
specifiers, the behavior is undefined.
.IP "\fR0\fR" 8

.BR X ,
.BR a ,
.BR A ,
.BR e ,
.BR E ,
.BR f ,
.BR F ,
.BR g ,
and
.BR G
conversion specifiers, leading zeros (following any indication of sign
or base) are used to pad to the field width rather than performing
space padding, except when converting an infinity or NaN. If the
.BR '0' 
and
.BR '\-' 
flags both appear, the
.BR '0' 
flag shall be ignored. For
.BR d ,
.BR i ,
.BR o ,
.BR u ,
.BR x ,
and
.BR X
conversion specifiers, if a precision is specified, the
.BR '0' 
flag shall be ignored.
If the

zero padding. For other conversions, the behavior is undefined.
